How Unconscious Biases Shape Your Business Narrative

In the business world, unconscious biases are like silent architects shaping decisions, opportunities, and overall success. These biases, often invisible to the naked eye, have a profound impact on our businesses without us even realising it.

So why should you care?

Because these biases can significantly limit your opportunities, hinder your business growth, and unintentionally exclude valuable perspectives. Let me share a real-life example that might hit close to home.

Imagine you’re launching a groundbreaking program. Your passion is palpable, your efforts unparalleled. But when it comes to marketing, you unknowingly use language and imagery that caters to a specific group, inadvertently excluding others. A potential client, excitedly searching for a program like yours, stumbles upon your marketing materials. Unfortunately, they don’t see themselves represented. The connection is lost, and you miss out on reaching a broader audience— why? Because of unconscious biases.

Now, let’s dive deeper into this example. Think about the impact on your bottom line. You may not be aware of the opportunities slipping through the cracks, the potential clients who resonate with your message but feel unseen. It’s not just about marketing; it’s about fostering a space where everyone, regardless of background, feels not just welcome but seen and heard.

The reality is this:

👉🏾 We all carry biases.

👉🏾 These biases influence our decisions.

👉🏾 They determine who we connect with and, unfortunately, who we might unintentionally exclude.

The crucial question is: What can we do about it? The answer lies in awareness and action.
